Strategic Pricing Architecture
Discipline That Captures Value, Generates Cash, and Build Market Confidence
Pricing defines how your business captures value and converts it into financial performance. We help you design a pricing system with live pocket-margin visibility, hard guardrails, and cash-smart terms—so you can move inventory, command premiums, accelerate cash, and signal control the market rewards.
Pricing Capabilities that Cost Companies 500+bps
Six questions that reveal whether your organization has the analytics, strategy, and governance required to capture pricing value or it’s leaking through discounts, payment terms, and unmanaged concessions.
Pricing Capabilities Designed Deliberately Deliver Margin Control, Liquidity, and Investor Confidence
Margin Expansion
Gross margin hides price leakage through off-invoice rebates, free services, and payment term costs.
We use pocket-margin insight to identify the gaps where value slips away and capture it by aligning price with delivered value, enforcing discipline, and replacing ineffective practices with proven ones.
+500 bps margin improvement
Cash Acceleration
Payment terms often act as hidden financing for customers.
We make that cost visible, measurable, and negotiable, freeing trapped working capital and improving ROIC by turning pricing into a deliberate cash strategy, not just a revenue driver.
+20% reduction in working capital needs
Investor Confidence
Inconsistent margin realization signals volatility.
We build pricing infrastructure and governance mechanisms that create control and predictability—linking disciplined execution to durable earnings investors reward.

Pricing Strategy & Methodology
- Define pricing approach by portfolio segment—value-based for differentiated offerings, competitive for commodities, hybrid for transitional products.
- Establish decision frameworks clarifying when to defend price, compete, or adapt based on customer value and product economics.
- Outcome: Strategic clarity that enables consistent, confident pricing decisions across the organization.
Competitive Intelligence & Benchmarking
- Benchmark pricing against competitive alternatives, substitutes, and adjacent segments to identify pricing-power and margin-risk zones.
- Integrate win–loss patterns, customer signals, and competitor moves into a continuous intelligence loop to detect under/over-pricing.
- Outcome: Confident pricing adjustments grounded in market reality and differentiation—not internal assumptions.
Offer Design & Bundling
- Structure packaging and good–better–best tiers that guide customers toward higher-value configurations.
- Align bundle logic with buying behavior and delivery capacity; price features/add-ons to reinforce differentiation without complexity.
- Outcome: Improved mix, higher margins, and simplified sales conversations.
Price Analytics
- Map the full waterfall from list to pocket margin to expose leakage across discounts, rebates, and terms.
- Set guardrails, discount ladders, and approval authorities that balance flexibility with structural discipline.
- Model elasticity and simulate pricing changes to predict volume–margin trade-offs.
- Outcome: Transparent control system for margin realization and leakage prevention.
Portfolio Optimization
- Simplify or rationalize products, SKUs, and services.
- Set pricing of the solution + service package bundles, guided by value-based assessment.
- Outcome: Higher net-margins, lower production cost on SKUs that are replaceable or highly customized and underpriced.
Customer Profitability & Pricing Discipline
- Measure true customer-level profitability across price realization, discounting patterns, service intensity, and payment terms.
- Segment accounts by profit contribution, growth headroom, and strategic importance to focus investment where returns are highest.
- Outcome: Reduced pricing variability across the customer base, stronger margin capture on key and complex accounts, and precise visibility into where profit is created—and where it leaks.
Deal Pricing & Negotiation
- Institutionalize deal discipline through pricing playbooks, CPQ tools, and approval guardrails.
- Equip sellers with negotiation frameworks, ROI data, and competitive positioning support.
- Outcome: Higher realized prices and stronger front-line confidence in defending value.
Payment Terms Strategy
- Define terms policies by segment and deal type that balance DSO optimization with sales objectives.
- Price extended terms or reward early payment to reflect true cost of capital.
- Outcome: Faster cash conversion, improved ROIC, and tighter commercial control.
Promotional Pricing
- Design time-bound promotions with clear objectives, guardrails, and ROI tracking.
- Protect base price integrity between promotions to prevent expectation drift.
- Outcome: Tactical sales lift without eroding long-term margin or brand value.
Governance, Incentives & Performance
- Define approval matrices, exception protocols, and decision rights across sales, finance, and product teams.
- Align incentives and compensation with realized margin, not just booked revenue.
- Outcome: Sustainable pricing discipline embedded in business cadence and leadership oversight.
